Could someone educate me as to what the Transpoder setting TA/RA means. It was discussed a while back, to do with having to make an emergency return to the departure airport. I have a new B757-200 sim and I cover this as part of my before take off checks.
Much appreciated!

It's to set your TCAS (collision avoidance system).
There's a thread on Tech Log about this very subject if you want to know more.
